Boys and girls that held her dear,
Do your now;
All you loved of her lies here.
Brought earth the arrogant brow,
And the withering tongue
Chastened; your weeping now.
Sing whatever songs are sung,
Wind wreath,
For a playmate perished young,
For a spirit in death.
Boys and girls that held her dear,
you loved of her lies here.
